You know I hadn't really thought of a time.  It'll be sometime in the afternoon but I don't have the schedule for Volleypalooza yet and I don't want to interfere with the people who want to attend who are in the tourney.

I would come.  I would like to meet some of you.  However, people tend to flake at the last minute.  I think I might head out to that volleypalooza thing.

Melissa, I'll see you there! smile

And as far as the flakes, actually someone tried to do a meetup in Ft Lauderdale through MM months ago, and Melissa and I were the only ones that showed up!

Heh, yeah, I remember that one. When I heard that the person organizing it wasn't going, I didn't think it was a good sign. Won't make it this time, but don't have too much fun without me, people!

I'm still going to SoBe around sunset. Then head to Friday's on Ocean. It will be fun. I guess I'll wear something extraordinarily bright. Wait, here in SoFl, that's like camouflage. lol

Well, I'm still up for meeting with everyone, but other than Jennifer and Dean, no one has responded in a few days... sad  Must be a Miami thing, I guess... I've seen it happen in other venues.

If anyone else wants to still join up, post here... Friday's at around 6 PM (sunset) sounds fine to me. This is a great chance for everyone to network a little, shoot the sh*t, hang out and put a face with a (screen) name!

Dax, I had a feeling there would be no volleypalooza.

Here is more bad news: the cold front! I'm a wuss when it comes to weather.

I doubt there will be many people at the beach anyway.

So, yup, I'm not coming. I'll wait til it gets warmer. brrr!

Ack.. and then there were none. lol

OK, I guess I'll go hiking and location scouting in the Everglades then... I actually love the cold and am looking forward to another ride in the National Park down south, plus some decent hiking time without all those damnable mosquitos!

My first time in the Everglades National Park...

I prepared by covering myself with Deep Woods OFF (sprayed it all over my skin and clothing).  Things seemed "cool" until I was traveling on a path that had some bushes blocking the way...

I pushed aside the branches and started to step through....and I kid you not...within seconds, there were like a million mosquitos on me...on my clothes....on my arms....busily trying to pump me dry.  They TOTALLY ignored the Deep Woods OFF.

Those mosquitos must have not had a meal in weeks!

Needless to say...I turned around and ran out of there screaming like a girl. smile

LOL I love the Everglades, but yes, those skeeters can be quite pesky... I've learned to tolerate them, though. I've even been out there in the height of summer - the best time for animal viewing as there are no tourists around - and one time returned with mosquito parts up my nose. Literally. Quite disgusting but I just sucked it up (no pun intended!).

One of the last times out, I saw a dead Burmese Python in the jaws of an exhausted alligator. It either had a lucky find, or I missed one helluva show. Unfortunately, I only had my toy camera with me (HP Photosmart EVF) and could have really used a good wide-angle. I was that close!

Some bailed, some never replied again to the thread, still others kinda disappeared...

I'd love a meetup, but I've noticed a lot of people will be all for it until the day actually comes, lol. I decided against it as I saw most people had lost interest, unfortunately, and being a cold day it was a good time to hit the Everglades (no mosquitos when it's cold). A little too cold to be on a sportbike, but ah well, we survived anyway smile

Christie! That sucks!

There has got to be a way to get Floridians together without another hurricane! I bailed because I didn't see any volleypalooza happening, nor did I want to be at any beach (even the one 2 mi away from home) in any weather less than 70 degrees.

I'm pretty sure I'll end up organizing a models&photographers get together in the downtown Fort Lauderdale area as it warms up. I'll bump the thread every now and again to keep you posted. I'd rather a private email to see a headcount, though!
